Committees of Commissioners
Serving on a Committee of Commissioners (CoC) is one of the best ways to be involved at General Assembly. It is a great opportunity to learn and influence the work of the PCA.
What is the purpose of Committees of Commissioners?
Committees of Commissioners are designed as part of the checks and balances for the PCA. The CoCs review each ministry’s accomplishments and plans for the year, along with their reports and recommendations (included in the Commissioner Handbook). The CoCs, one for each PCA Committee and Agency, are made up of commissioners chosen by their presbyteries according to a formula in the Rules of Assembly Operations (RAO). Every presbytery may have a representative on each CoC.
How do I serve on a Committee of Commissioners?
Notify your Presbytery Stated Clerk that you are registered as a commissioner and are willing to serve.
For the presbytery clerks contact list, click here.
How long do I serve?
The CoCs only meet onsite during the week of General Assembly. The CoCs meet on Monday and Tuesday and then as needed during the remainder of the Assembly.

Fundraising Campaigns in the Church Breakfast | Wednesday, June 25 | 7:00AM
Fundraising Campaigns in the Church
Fundraising campaigns in the church setting are the lifeblood of growth. The tithe and offerings account for your annual budget, but when additional capital is required, such as a building or property purchase or renovation, something more is necessary.
During our breakfast, The Canaan Group will explore what fundraising campaigns look like in our unique setting of the PCA church. We’ll cover how you can assess your congregation’s support, and how you can be prepared to move forward confidently with a capital project.
The PCA Foundation will explain the tools at your disposal to help your members reduce their taxes on campaign giving to enable greater giving. With simple and clear guidelines for greater giving, this workshop will help you educate your members before, during, and after your campaign.
Sign-up for this free breakfast HERE.
